Beginning of the Hattlc of Glencoc.
A correspondent in Ulencoe camp
(lends the following dispatch, uudor date
of October 20, morning :
"Daybreak disclosed the Dutch all
around Dundee. As soon as they were
in line behind Peter Smith's house,
where they posted u cannon, rifle fire
begun generally, and to wake us they
put eevural shots and shells slap into
the camp, causing a speedy evacuation
of the tents and forming up of all the
ranks outside the camp. Our guns were
noon in action, and replied with telling
oifect. So effective was our artillery lire
that in ten minutes the guns of the
Boera were all but silenced. I could see
from my position how telling it was. I
could see members of the etna" going
about their duties us coolly as if tho
whole thing was a sham battle.
"As soon as the Boer tire slackened,
our artillery, which had been beautifully
nerved, trotted into town and pouted
themselves. They soon compelled tho
enemy to retire. Our guns continued to
play on Smith's hill, where beautiful
practice was made.
"While our guns were so engaged, the
hussars deployed on the lelt flank. Soon
the cannonading coased, and, after five
minutes' Bharp work, all was over. This
may be put dowu as the first battle of
Dundee.
"Tho battle was soon renewed with
great vigor. At 7 :35 a message arrived
telling tho camp that 0000 Boers were
marching on us with the intention of at
tacking our rear. A heavy mist which
c ips the surrounding hills obscures their
upproach, and they may be ou us any
hour. The only casualties known on our
eide are the wounding of a trumpeter
and a drummer in the Sixty-ninth
battery,"

sideration of three important amend
lnents to the constitution of the organiza
tion, and in celebrating the silver jubilee
of the society, the delegates to tho W.
C. T. U. convention passed the sicond
day of iho session. Two or three amend
ments were adopted. One of theee
removes the headquarters of the national
organization from Chicago, where it has
been located for many years, to Evanston,
111., at Rest cot t ace, the late home of
Miss Frances Willard. The adoption of
this amendment was had after a long
and at times rattier heated debate, in
which much feeling was manifested.
In the discussion of this proposition
the notional officers, without exception,
supported the amendment. It developed
that among the officers and delegates
there was a strong .desire to have the
permanent headquarters of the organiza
tion at the place hallowed to them by
the long residence of Miss Willard, and
by the associations growing out of her
occupancy of her rooms in Rest cottage,
The opposition to the movement, which
came from delegates from various parts
the country, was beaten down under
arguments founded upon the sentiment
referred to. When the vote waB taken,
shortly after noon, it stood 174 for the
amendment and twenty-two against
